20 shortcuts that save an hour a week

Last lesson of the course. It is deliberately the lightest one — twenty keyboard shortcuts — because by now you do not need new ideas. You need speed with the ideas you already own.

Here is why this matters more than it sounds. Watch two people do the same task: one mouses to the Home tab, hunts for the button, clicks, returns to the data. The other taps two keys without looking. Same result — but the second person did it in a tenth of the time, forty times an hour. That difference is where "an hour a week" comes from, and colleagues notice it. Keyboard fluency reads as experience.

You have already met several of these in earlier modules. Here they all are in one place — your reference card.
